5052 Aluminum Pipe

5052 Aluminum Pipe is a variation of aluminum alloys that are improvised for better performance. Aluminum is a naturally shiny and corrosion resistant material to many conditions. It is a light weight and electric conductive material. The use of aluminum is limited in some applications due to the reactive nature of aluminum with water and the fragile nature. So there are alloys of aluminum with other elements in the composition to reduce the fragility and reaction with water. The 5052-0 Aluminum Pipe is an aluminum magnesium alloy that is optimized for corrosion resistance. It is a medium strength magnesium alloy. The composition has silicon, iron, copper, manganese and other elements in smaller quantities as well. The 5052 Aluminum Seamless Pipe is made directly from solid material so that there is no welding and the pipe is dimensionally precise.
Various dimensions available for 5052 Aluminum Alloy Hollow Pipes, Aluminum Alloy 5052 Round Pipes, 5052-0 Aluminum Alloy Square Pipes & 5052 Marine Grade Aluminum Rectangular Pipes

The Aluminum 5052 Box Pipe is used in applications that require high strength and need to remain in shape for a long time. The aluminum alloys have long lasting life or longer lifespans. The strength of the pipes differ from application to application, the shape and form of the aluminum pipe used. The 5052-0 Aluminum Welded Pipe is welded from sheets. This increases the strength a bit higher than the ordinary pipes. However, the Aluminum 5052-0 ERW Pipe could only be cold worked to harden it further after production. The heat treatment is not suitable for this type of aluminum alloys. The 5052 Aluminum Alloy Hollow Pipe is the one of the most used pipes as it is the Aluminum Alloy 5052 Round Pipe. There are others such as the box pipe, square pipe, rectangular and hexagonal; there are also hydraulic classes. But the most used in the round one. The 5052-0 Aluminum Alloy Square Pipe is used mostly with structural applications.
